1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT) is a rare form of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). We report a case of a 28-year-old woman presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding and mildly elevated serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels. Imaging revealed a heterogeneous uterine mass with lymphadenopathy and pulmonary metastases. Core biopsy histology suggested ETT, but definitive subclassification was limited by small sample size and an ambiguous immunohistochemical profile, which is itself a recognised source of diagnostic uncertainty in this entity. The patient received neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, followed by total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy. At 10 months postoperatively, the patient remains disease-free with normalisation of β-hCG levels. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenges inherent to GTD, particularly the overlap between ETT, placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) and choriocarcinoma; emphasises the importance of integrating multimodal imaging with histopathology within a multidisciplinary team; and demonstrates that a combined approach of chemotherapy and surgical resection can lead to favourable outcomes in this rare entity.
